Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is Art Life Coaching?
A: Art Life Coaching blends traditional life coaching with the creative process to help you explore your thoughts, emotions, and goals in a more intuitive way. You don’t need to be an artist — it’s about using art as a tool for reflection, not perfection. Through independent creative exercises, journaling, and guided conversations, you’ll uncover insights, release blocks, and connect more deeply with your authentic self.
Q: How can I do art exercises without having to buy art supplies?
A: I offer a free digital option available for you, or we can explore alternative options that better suit your preferences and needs. Your reflection is the goal. The method is flexible.
Q: What happens in a coaching session?
A: Prior to the initial session, I will ask you to complete a coaching questionnaire that will help me get to know you. We might begin our session with a brief reflection, then transition into a more in-depth conversation. At the end of our sessions, you will have a clear action plan forward, which may include an artful exercise, journaling, or tasks that will guide you toward your goal.
Q: How is coaching different from therapy?
A: Coaching focuses on the present and future, helping you clarify your goals, strengthen your mindset, and move forward with confidence. Therapy often explores past experiences and mental health treatment. While both can be healing, coaching is action-oriented and growth-focused. If deeper mental health support is needed, I’m happy to help you find a qualified therapist.
Q: How do I know if a coach is the right fit for me?
A: The simple truth is that everyone can benefit from a coach; it's your decision to engage in the process with trust and patience. My program is designed to share tools that help you move forward with clarity and achieve long-term transformation.
Q: Do we meet once a week, or is the schedule flexible?
A: Meeting weekly helps build momentum, consistency, and an active habit of accountability. While I encourage a weekly rhythm, you’ll have a full 12 months to use the sessions included in your package. This gives you the flexibility to schedule at a pace that truly supports your lifestyle and goals. You’ll also receive access to the e-Learning Library and light communication between sessions for clarity and support.
Q: Can I reach out to you between sessions?
A: Yes, you’re welcome to send a short message if you need clarification or accountability support. While I’m not available for full coaching conversations outside our scheduled sessions, I will respond within my stated business hours. This keeps our work focused and sustainable for both of us.
Q: What if I’m having a really tough day?
A: You can send a brief message to let me know what’s going on, and I’ll respond with grounding or next-step guidance during business hours. Please note that I’m not a crisis or emergency service; therefore, anything urgent or related to mental health should be directed to the appropriate support hotline or professional.
Q: How quickly do you respond to messages?
A: I respond within 24–48 hours on weekdays. This allows me to give you thoughtful attention while also honoring the focused time I dedicate to coaching sessions and content creation.
Q: How do I get started?
A: You can begin by scheduling a free introductory session to talk about your goals and see if coaching feels like the right fit. From there, we’ll design a plan that supports your personal or creative renewal journey.
